Description
When adding or viewing a ticket, I'm receiving the same error as found in #2973 and #986. The traceback is as follows:

Is this perhaps a setting that should be stored in trac.ini?
It appears to work when I put a
database_charset = latin1
under [trac]
and then this code change:

Let me know if this is helpful.
Thanks.

This seems to be a bug with MySQL:
Noted as fixed in MySQL 4.1.19, 5.0.20, 5.1.8 changelogs.
(Had the same issue, but worked with when upgraded MySQL)

This answer pointed me in the right direction. I thought perhaps some more detail could help others.
I found the following section in the file mysql_backend.py
# python-mysqldb 1.2.1 added a 'charset' arg that is required for
# unicode stuff. We hack around that here for older versions; at # some point, this hack should be removed, and a strict requirement # on 1.2.1 made. -dilinger if (self._mysqldb_gt_or_eq((1, 2, 1))):
cnx = MySQLdb.connect(db=path, user=user, passwd=password,
host=host, port=port, charset='utf8')
else:
cnx = MySQLdb.connect(db=path, user=user, passwd=password,
host=host, port=port, use_unicode=True)
# This is the original line
self._set_character_set(cnx, 'utf8')
# This is the change I made
self._set_character_set(cnx, 'latin1')
ConnectionWrapper.init(self, cnx)
Hope this helps some others.
Replying to spr@cs.byu.edu:
After further investigation, I discovered that the error occurs due to the fact trac initiates the database connection with charset set to 'utf8', though the database has a charset of 'latin1'.
A quick fix is to simply change line 114 in db/mysql_backend.py to
port=port, use_unicode=True, charset='latin1')This isn't really a great fix. Instead one could change the charset after connecting after checking to see what charset the database is using, but I'm at a loss as to how I should do that.

> > checking to see what charset the database is using, but I'm at a loss as to how I should do that.
you can do that from inside the server (assumed you'r loged in) by typing a:
mysql> \s
that gives you the status-information of the actual running mysql-server, like this example:
